A baby wolf, who was born in late April in a Siberian Zoo and was rejected by his mother despite being in perfectly good health, is doing just fine thanks to a cat who took over mothering responsibilities.

Poor pup was left all alone just four days after his birth and zoo workers had to come up with an unusual solution. They gave the cub to a cat who was feeding her own kittens at the time and, luckily, the cat immediately accepted the cub and started to lick and feed him, reports Russia Today.
